Stevens Point's Kennedy Konkol brings 'fresh energy' to SPASH hoops

STEVENS POINT – A 17-point-per-game freshman season gave Kennedy Konkol a strong start to her high school basketball career and Division 1 aspirations. Her next chapter begins at Stevens Point, where she's looking to grow alongside a new group of standout teammates in University of Iowa commit Jada Seubert and rising Leah Awe, under former WNBA No. 1 pick, SPASH coach Janel McCarville. Konkol, a 2025 first team all-conference selection in the Wisconsin Valley Conference, said while she will miss Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln and her teammates, that was the entire point of the move. As the season inches closer to its inception, Konkol feels she is adjusting well to the switch and seeing how her goals both big and small lie ahead. “I was very nervous at first, to be honest, but now that I've kind of been here for a little bit and made some friends and had open gyms, it's been a lot better,” Konkol said. “I feel pretty good. I really like how the atmosphere is and the players that I'm with. I feel like it's very energetic and welcoming. I feel like I can push myself.” Amherst embraces challenge Vs Redbirds: Amherst football embraces challenge vs
